Chapter 4: Elementary School – Part 4

The summer holidays weren't that great. Brittany wasn't here and Santana hadn't made any other friends at school, so she spent most of the time with her older brother.

Because of the fray on the first day at school, her parents had technically forbidden her to spend so much time with him, but because her mother had started working again and couldn't check on her, Santana did it anyway.

Spending time with her brother Jorge meant most of the time, hanging out with his gang. Their main activity was walking through the streets and getting in a fight with every one who looked at them skeptically. Santana wasn't proud of it, but her brother told her, that they deserved it. He said, that the people would judge them because they were from the slum quarter of the city and they had to beat them up. For the honor.

Honor was always a big topic within the family Lopez. The family came from a poor background, but they have managed to make them self a name. They were relatively wealthy and lived well, but they had never left the so-called "slum" because they didn't want to deny their origin.

Santana didn't really care about that, but she knew that every time she did something that could bring the name Lopez in a bad light, her parents got upset. So she gave her best to be honorable, whatever that might be.

As Santana entered the school building at the first day after the holidays, she instantly spotted Brittany, who was standing a few feet away from the door and had obviously been waiting for her.

"Sanny!", Brittany shouted and ran towards her with open arms.

"I missed you so much", Brittany hugged her and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Santana giggle embarrassed.

"You got smaller", Brittany giggled. She apparently had grown over the holiday once more and was now almost a foot taller than Santana.

Santana grimaced. "When did you get so mean, Lanky?"

Brittany grinned, linked her pinkie with Santana's as usual and pulled her with her.

"I already found our classroom. Well, it's the same as last year. But we can sit wherever we want. So we can sit next to each other", Brittany explained excited.

Santana just smiled. She wasn't as open-hearted as Brittany but deep inside she had to admit, that she has really missed that girl.

"Welcome back guys", Miss Peterson said with a smile, "I hope all of you had great holidays. I want to introduce you Jesse. He's new here and will be in our class", she look at the boy next to her, "Jesse do you want to say something?"

He smiled shyly. "Well I'm Jesse Willken. I'm 9 years old. I did second grade last year, but my parents and I moved so often, that I missed too much, so I decided to repeat. I like sports and yeah...I hope we'll have a good time together"

"Thank you", Miss Peterson said, and then looked into the class, "Has anybody a question for Jesse? Yes...Brittany?"

"Did you move so often because you're a vampire and nobody may know that you're immortal?", Brittany asked with a serious face.

Once again the whole class laughed.

"Oh how I missed you, goofus", Jimmy said viciously.

Santana turned to him and gave him a withering look.

Jesse just laughed slightly. "You're a weirdo, huh?", he smiled and went to a empty seat.

Brittany seemed confused. She leaned to Santana and whispered into her ear "He didn't answer my question. I think he's a vampire for real"

"Hey New-One", Santana went to the new kid who was standing at the cloakroom.

"My name is..", he started, but Santana interrupted him.

"Yeah..i don't care. You're new. So I'll tell you how things work here.", she took a step closer to him and looked him straight in the eye, "Don't even think about doing any harm to my friend Brittany or I'll kick your ass. Do you understand?"

"But I didn't..", Jesse stammered.

"Do you understand?", Santana repeated.

Jesse nodded quickly.

"San?", Brittany came around the corner and looked at the two, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing", Santana lied, threw a last gaze at Jesse and then walked towards Brittany.

"Let's go", she smiled and linked pinkies.
